Seville orange fruit and seeds avaible now

Julie starts with ...
Anyone wanting the above please email me with your address: julwood at iprimus dot com dot au. I know there are 30-40 people wanting them by now, so please be patient - I can only do a few at a time. They have to be fresh, so I will do a batch before a trip to the post office.

I have lost all my computer info (it's there somewhere, but can't retrieve it till someone fixes it), so don't have any of the addresses sent to me.

Oops!. Typo: available now

Many citrus will only set viable seeds if there is another compatable cultivar flowering at the same time nearby and something to pollenate them. So it can vary a bit.

Mike says...
Mary welcome back I hope the trip worked out well and you're settled back in.I also hope you little garden pulled through without you.

Brendan says...
Hi Julie, here's some pics of some marmalade my sister made from Tangelos! I'm very surprised how good it tastes!
Oh, she added two lemons as well.

Mike says...
Mary if you give me a wishlist we might be able to replace some casualties with new recruits.When it warms a little it might be better.

MaryT says...
Thanks, Mike. I think I need to get the garden back to ship shape before adding to it; you're right, I should also wait till it's warmer. Freezing wind today; though sunny. Simon if Brendan does not come back with a recipe just use any orange/lemon/lime marmalade recipe depending on how sweet/sour the fruit is.

Brendan says...
Hi Simon, yeah no problems, I'll try to get her marmalade recipe, and post it here :-)

Brendan says...
Hi Julie, your seeds arrived yesterday, in very good condition! Thank you!
I'll be planting them shortly :-)

Still working on that marmalade recipe Simon :-)

Maybe Julie can share her recipe as well?

Xiem says...
That didn't work so I will type it:

Seville Orange Marmalade

Wash a kilo of seville oranges and two lemons

With a sharp knife carefully cut the zest from the oranges and slice it finely

Juice the "shaved" oranges and the lemons. Add the sliced zest to the juice. Set aside.

Boil the leftover squeezed fruit, comprising skins, pith and seeds in about two litres of water for an hour or more until the pectin is released (no requirement for muslin bag). Strain the fruit mush from the pectin liquid.

You will end up with roughly one litre of juice/zest and one litre of strained pectin liquid

Add these together with sugar to taste (about 750g but up to a kilo if a sweet mix is desired)

Boil until setting point and jar up.

Simon says...
Thanks Brendan & Xiem. I will give it a go.

Db says...
When does these seedling starts fruiting? How is fruit as compared to other varieties?

Julie says...
Xiem, do you still want seeds? Don't seem to have your email address, but I have your home address.

Saw Seville oranges for sale at the Bunbury farmers market..grown locally...that was a surprise!

Brendan says...
Geez amanda, did you move to Germany? (Leschenault!?) LOL :-)

MaryT says...
Hey you guys Leschenault was named after the FRENCH botanist Jean Baptiste Claude Théodore Leschenault de la Tour (1773 - 1826) - "Botanist on the voyage of the Géographe and Naturaliste (Baudin, 1801 - 1803), which visited the north-west, west and south coasts of Western Australia, coastal South Australia, Port Jackson, New South Wales, and King Island in Bass Strait. Leschenault later visited Java, Cape Verde Islands, Cape of Good Hope, India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and British Guyana..."

Xiem says...
Thank you teacher. I will blame the other dunce Brendan for leading me to the wrong side of the Maginot line. :-)

Gazelle says...

Gazelle

Julie says...
Gazelle and RdH, see first post for my email address. I will have seeds in August/September, hopefully.

John Mc says...
These are from a seed grown from Julie's tree. Do they grow true to type? Do these look like rough skin Seville's? They certainly taste like marmalade.

Julie says...
Thanks John, you are the first person to post re fruit from my seeds. They look like the real thing to me! How long did it take to fruit?

Jimseville says...
Hi Julie. Wonder if you will be seed saving again this year? Tried to contact you via email but kept getting 'bad address' responses. Thanks very much.
